AC to DC convertor. Or build your own with four diodes,reostat, and filters.
This type of circuit is known as a rectifier and is usually done with diodes, which block portions of the + and - cycles at a given point in time, allowing the other part of the cycle to pass. Rectification can be either full or half wave.

∙ 8y agoAC is changed into DC by using rectifiers. DC means current in one direction only. So, using rectifier we either remove the negative part of the sinusoidal AC wave or we make that negative part positive.
In the first case, when we remove negative cycle, it is called half wave rectification and the rectifier is called half wave rectifier.
while in the second case, when we make negative part of the cycle positive the rectification is full wave rectification and the rectifier is called full wave rectifier.

Can you measure ac mains voltage with dc voltmeter or high dc voltage with ac meter?
You cant.
Can you connect an AC source in series to DC source - then what happens to the current under a steady state condition?
With an AC and a DC voltage source in series, the DC voltage can be added to the RMS value of the AC voltage to give the effective voltage.
How does a diode change from AC to DC?
it clips all the bottom voltage off the sine wave,to get steady dc voltage you will need to clean up the ripple to get good voltage regulation <><><> A diode does not change AC to DC, but it does allow alternating current to flow in only one direction. A diode (or often 2 or 4 diodes) with a filter can be used to rectify AC into DC.
What is the difference between a voltage converter and a voltage inverter?
Converter is AC to DC. Inverter is DC to AC
Does alternating voltage changes its value or direction?
AC voltage with no DC offset will change both it's voltage level (constant change, hence AC) and polarity (ie direction) every 1/2 cycle when it crosses zero.
How do you make ac into DC in a ac transformer?
You can not change AC into DC using a transformer. A transformer changes the voltage levels. To change AC into DC, you would need a rectifier. To change that into smooth DC you need a capaciter and a voltage regulater
How can you change dc voltage into ac voltage?
The device to do that is called an inverter.
Why isn't there a DC transfromer?
An AC transformer works by changing the magnetic field going through a coil. The change is unavailable in the case of DC. It is possible to convert DC to AC (with an inverter) and then change the AC voltage to another value and rectify it to get DC at a different voltage.
How do you convert 23 voltage DC to 230 Voltage AC?
How do you convert 23 voltage DC to 230 Voltage AC?
Can you measure ac mains voltage with dc voltmeter or high dc voltage with ac meter?
You cant.
ABS sensor produce AC voltage or DC voltage?
AC !
What is the difference between rectifier and converter?
A rectifier converts AC voltage into DC voltage. A converter is something more general. It describes not only rectifiers, but also devices that can turn DC into AC or perform DC-to-DC or AC-to-AC conversion.
What is the output voltage of megger is it ac or DC?
megger are available in ac &dc
Can you connect an AC source in series to DC source - then what happens to the current under a steady state condition?
With an AC and a DC voltage source in series, the DC voltage can be added to the RMS value of the AC voltage to give the effective voltage.
Is DC voltage and average voltage same?
no, dc volatage is a type of current direct current, ac is alternating current, average voltage could be any type of voltage ac or dc that maintains a constant rangeAnswerNo. A DC voltage is exactly equivalent to an AC rms-voltage. So, for example, 100 V (DC) is exactly equivalent to 100 V (AC rms). The average value of an AC waveform is zero.
Is DC is at low voltage than ac?
There's no correlation between the voltage, the current, and whether the source is AC or DC.
Why smps convert ac to dc and again to dc to dc?
first it converts ac to dc as rectifier But the required dc voltage is obtained by taking average of on & off DC input voltage.
